A HIGH INDEX OF CLINICAL SUSPICION TO MAKE ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS AND IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION IS ESSENTIAL IN THESE CASES.NEWER DIAGNOSTIC AND IMAGING MODALITIES ALONG WITH NEW AVENUES OF MEDICAL AND SURGICAL TREATMENT MODALITIES HAVE EXPANDED THE ARMAMENTARIUM OF THE OPHTHALMOLOGIST.FOCUS OF THIS COURSE IS TO DISCUSS THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE CONDITIONS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON CURRENT TRENDS, NEWER TECHNOLOGIES AND A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE. THE VITAL ROLE OF HISTOPATHOLOGY IN CUSTOMIZING ADJUVANT THERAPY TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF RECURRENCES WILL ALSO BE EMPHASIZED.
